1. A method of inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzyme activity in a mammal, the method comprising administering to the mammal an effective amount of a composition comprising the Jucara-based dietary supplement composition comprises:
- (a) a total anthocyanin concentration greater than about 1 milligram per gram total weight;
(b) an ORACFL value greater than about 350 micromole TE per gram total weight; and
(c) a residual water content less than about 3 weight percent of the total weight, wherein the composition quenches free radicals and reduces the damage induced by pathological free radicals;
or an effective amount of the Jucara-based dietary supplement composition comprising;
(a) a cyclooxygenase inhibition value greater than about 15 Aspirin®
mg equivalent per gram total weight; and
(b) a residual water content less than about 3 weight percent of the total weight.
